How to shrink your tummy quickly?

It’s annoying when you fail to fit yourself into skinny jeans bought last year. It doesn’t matter! Here are six slimming tricks that can help you lose extra abdominal fat.

1. Shake on the sea salt. The culprit making your tummy bloat? It could be the salt in your diet. Use natural sea salt or kosher salt, which is lower in sodium than traditional table salts. And stay away from soy sauce: Even low-sodium soy sauce is still high in sodium and will cause practically instant bloating. Instead, flavor your food with a little fresh tomato salsa or a hint of cayenne pepper, which has an added benefit of boosting metabolism.

2. Punch it out and lose 2 inches fast. Add 16 minutes of boxing three times a week to your regular cardio routine. Simply throw punches while holding 1- or 2-pound weights for 8 minutes, alternating arms, then repeat without weights at a faster pace for 8 more minutes. When you throw punches with weights or at a fast pace, you’re working your core in a way that helps to flatten your midsection and burn extra calories.

3. Try the flat-belly cheat. Play up a different body part to draw attention from your middle. If it’s your legs, wear skirts or slim pants. Shoulders—bare them even if just a bit with a boat neck or sweetheart neckline. Make sure your bra does its job. If your bra rides up in the back, the bra has likely stretched out. If it accentuates back flab or if the space between the cups doesn’t lie flat, go up a size.

4. Size matters. Eating portion-controlled meals that include whole-grain foods and monounsaturated fats throughout the day is the best way to eat for a flat belly. People who eat whole grains and MUFAs lose more abdominal fat.

5. The ultimate flat-belly menu.

Best breakfast: A slice of whole-wheat bread with natural peanut butter and 1 cup of your favorite berries.
Best lunch: Spinach salad with sliced avocado, grilled firm tofu, and cherry tomatoes, drizzled with a little olive oil and fresh lemon juice.
Best dinner: Grilled salmon, a roasted sweet potato, and sauteed asparagus with olive oil and garlic.
Best snack: A cup of fat-free yogurt with 2 tablespoons sunflower seeds.

6. Stay positive and keep smiling. The best thing for your abs is laughing. Every time you laugh it strengthens your abs. There are even laughing yoga classes. If you start busting a gust, you are absolutely toning your abs.
